Octomom Under Investigation For Locking Her Kids In A Room While She Gets $500 Haircuts

In case you weren’t fully convinced Octomom had no business bringing 14 kids into the world because she’s a shit-ass mother, the police paid her a visit last night over charges of child neglect after a hair stylist took pictures inside the house capturing almost third world-like living conditions for anyone not named Octomom who dropped $520 on haircuts, chemical treatments and styling products while on welfare. TMZ reports:

One picture shows two children pooping in a portable training toilet in the backyard. We’re told the plumbing in the house is shot, and only one toilet is operational.
Another photo shows Octo just after she got her hair done. What’s shocking is that she locked her kids in the bedroom by propping a chair against the door so they couldn’t get out.
Yet another pic shows the children’s bedroom, with 2 cribs and a mattress. Stephanie told cops some of the kids are forced to sleep on the floor.
And there’s more … a pic shows some of the kids in the backyard, barefoot, dirty and wearing no pants.

Octomom Nadya Suleman — who is pulling in $2,000 month in food stamps thanks to California taxpayers — spent $520 on a Brazilian blowout, and 2 cuts … TMZ has learned.
…
Stephanie — who went to cops yesterday and filed a report claiming the 14 kids were living in squalor — tells us she couldn’t believe Octo was spending this kind of loot on haircuts when her plumbing didn’t work.
Stephanie says a plumber had been to the house recently and told Octo it would cost $150 to fix the pipes, but Octo declined, saying it was too expensive.

While the police couldn’t charge Octo with child neglect, child services are launching their own investigation which hopefully involves rocketing Octo’s uterus into the sun so she can never reproduce again followed by immediately splitting her children up so they can actually spend a day not at risk for whatever diseases you get for constantly walking in pee and poop. Yes, I know, it’s terrible they’ll be separated from their siblings, but you know what else is terrible? The fucking plague. On that note, I really don’t like to pat religious fanatics on the back, but at least the Duggars aren’t slowly murdering their child army with crap-borne illnesses while they systematically brainwash them into a life of perpetually farting out more subservient zombies for Jesus. I’m man enough to admit that.

You know, for $520 I bet I can find someone who can give her head a really good trim – with a chainsaw. For another $100 I can make it a Brazillian chainsaw. Yeah, it may sound a little pricey, but it actually saves on future procedures.

Don’t blame the stylist – she actually works for a living, and how the hell would she know how this dysfunctional cunt was spending everybody else’s tax dollar? What I’m hoping is that after this news gets around she won’t even be able to spend dime one on herself without someone challenging her on it.

Charging someone with these sort of offenses is a sticky prospect. The system is deliberately designed to make it hard to take away parental rights (otherwise it might be abused). It’s less what is considered child neglect and more what you can convince a jury is child neglect. And while it looks pretty damning from our perspective, you’d better believe any defense attorney worth their salt could polish that turd to a high gloss. So I’m guessing the police or a DA made a judgment call that charging her at that time wouldn’t be productive.

First, unless she’s actually arrested, there is no “jury” to play to here. Second, if CPS does act on this accusation and makes a determination to take the kids, it would be a civil, not criminal matter, to determine if they should remain in state-mandated foster care. In CA, you have a right to trial within 15 days of the state’s seizing your offspring, but it would be handled in Family Court, in front of a judge. Low income families are appointed public defenders.

this seams like a pretty open n shut case. i mean its far on the extreme side of absurd and ridiculous. i don’t see how proving that she is a complete disaster of a parent could be difficult. on top of all that, she can’t afford decent legal representation.

TomFrank, since this would be handled in civil/family court, not criminal court, I can’t imagine what the hell BE thinks any “elected offficials” would or would not have to do with this “polarizing” event.

Well, if every other year is an election year, then by your standard, nothing ever gets done in even-numbered years. It’s a wonder society doesn’t grind to a halt every two years. (Okay, it is California…)

Oh yes, the hard things get done – but it will usually be right after the election when there is time for voter memory to fade. It’s the political schedule not the practical one.

No one wants to touch this because of the slippery slope slide the question of reproductive rights. Everyone will point out that the fertility doctor’s license has been revoked (rightfully so IMHO) but no one wants to try and legislate how many embryos can be implanted (I read TWELVE in this case).

Sadly, all 14 children are really screwed – no matter how it plays out now.

DERP – that’s why the courts appoint attorneys for people who can’t afford them. That’s because we like to maintain the illusion that everyone gets a fair trial and that people who aren’t rolling in money are occasionally innocent of what they’re being charged with. And while I think she ought to start selling her body parts to pay back what she’s cost CA so far in medical costs and welfare, it doesn’t “seam” anything of the kind.

CA daycare standards require you to have a toilet for every 15 kids, so she won’t lose her kids for that alone. What would make a case for removing the kids from her custody or appointing a conservator is unsanitary living conditions, abuse or misusing their disability money or other funds meant for their support and welfare for her own personal needs. Brazilian blowouts and hair care products don’t count as a “need”.

She has not had her kids taken away because there is nothing in those photos that indicate abuse or neglect.

I see someone with eight 3 year olds who are potty training at once (hence no pants and plentiful toilets), a mother who lets her kids draw on the walls (so what??), possibly a kid locked in a room for an unspecified period of time, though we actually do not know what is behind that door (which I have done when my child won’t stay in a time out for 5-10 minutes- it is called discipline and it is not the end of the world, nor necessarily abusive).

People here have no understanding about what kind of horror actually triggers removal of a child by CPS.

As for the 2k in foodstamps- as a CA taxpayer- do you people know how much it would cost to remove those kids and put them in foster care?? At least 4 times that much. And probably more like 10k per month b/c some are disabled and the benefit to a foster parent for taking them would be about $1500 per month.

Normally enjoy bashing Nadya, but these pics I just see the house of an overwhelmed mother (albeit self inflicted wound) holding it together reasonably well.

Reasonably well?!?!!? That is not color crayons on the wall, that is freaking spray paint!!! She LOCKED her kids in a room! Also did you read the part where she was spending over $500 for a haircut, but refused to spend $150 on plumbing so her kids could go to the bathroom IN the house? Yeah, I get being an overwhelmed mom, but this house and her lifestyle shows priorities being completely out of whack. Being overwhelmed does not justify the living conditions of that house or her choices.

Never mind…just saw the part where you posted that locking your kids in a room isn’t abusive as you do it yourself. That is completely irresponsible. What if there is an emergency? Toddler’s supposed to climb out the window if there is a fire at her house? My kids don’t listen all the time either (surprise, surprise) and yet I have NEVER locked them in a room. And I never would either.

Relax there tiger, I am talking about a 5 minutes when they refuse to stay in a time out. I am right outside said door. Read “1,2 3 magic”.

If you people think these kids would be better off in a foster home in CA you are impossibly naive. I have worked jobs where I have been a mandated reporter, actually know the law here. There is nothing in those photos that would indicate those kids should be taken from the home you are wrong. I have also worked in the foster care system. They could end up somewhere worse…

Letting kids draw on the walls is bad because they will think it is acceptable behavior and do it in other places. The fact that Nadya doesn’t clean it up is depressing enough, but she’s letting them use spray paint!! That’s not safe for kids to be inhaling!!

Wow, you lock your kids in their room when they’re bad? You don’t think indoor plumbing is more important than a haircut? I’m worried for your kids, too.

Can’t believe I am in the position of defending that psyco octomom- but have you seen the source of the “facts” you are citing? She is as much a mess as suliman.

We do not know there were kids in that room. We do not know that she refused to have plumbing fixed, or that it is even broken, we also do not know that the kids sprayed that paint. All we actually know is that a bunch of kids of toilet training age are pantless on their potties. The rest is coming from a wackjob “old friend” of wackjob octomom- who made a pile of money for saying it.

She did not quietly report this to the police out of concern for the children. She sold pics o tmz for money. You people are easily incensed.

I have to comment on this. Only one real potty works inside . Putting two outside minimizes the chance that some of these kids are gonna wanna poop inside. Or accidentally trip over a potty and have the contents all over the carpet. She’s a shitty fucking mom, but this part isn’t that big of a deal.
